Agenda: 5:37 or so - Find your groups, make a plan, and go forth and write! 5:38 - 7:58 - Find a place to eat and write (and perhaps consume adult beverages) Write for a set period Share - without commenting (exception: "Wow, YOU are a writer!") Move (or have a second adult beverage, or move AND have a second adult beverage) Repeat 1-2 more times 7:59 - Meet back at the room where we started 8:00 - Begin read-around – pick a short piece, or a section of a piece, or even just one line to share 9:03 - Go Buh-Bye

Consider marathoning with someone(s) you don’t know
Arrange car pools and exchange cell phone numbers - Penny Lew’s cell - 989-400-9238
If you go into a restaurant or bar, be sure to order something.
If anyone asks what you’re doing, tell them, "I am a writer."
Keep in mind that you are doing this for yourself and for nobody else.
Follow any path that develops. Look for unusual spots to write.
Write for whatever length(s) of time the group feels comfortable.
Move a few times unless the group is comfortable where it is.
Bottom line: It's not about following directions; it’s about writing for yourself for a bit.
